Dear Rob, Thank you for sharing this news, though it is sad, and I hope he is kept free of any pain in the Hospice. As already mentioned, it is clear how many lives have been touched by this man of beautiful deep, spirit. I too, like Marilyn remember him well at the Singapore ITI. 103 participants at that event, from something like 20 nations ( someone can correct)!. Then again at the HDTS on Jeju Do Island, he visited us and brought a number of his colleagues as participants. A man of both dignity and humility. I always enjoyed seeing Kang Byoung Hoon sitting discussing life as theology with JWM on his visits to Chicago. With my gratitude, Isobel

Dear friends,
Wanted you to know that Rev. Dr. Kang Byoung Hoon at the age of 91 has been diagnosed with stage four small cell brain cancer and has just been entered into hospice in Seoul, Korea.
The attached photo is of Rev. Dr. Kang Hye Kyung (Rev. Kang's daughter), Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon, me, and my son Benjamin during one of Rev. Kang's visits to the US.
Grateful for Rev. Kang Byoung Hoon's powerful, inspiring leadership in the OE/EI/ICA and in the Korean Methodist Church, for the gift of living and working with the Kang family in the Seoul Religious House, and for staying in touch all these years both in trips to Korea and in the US.
Blessings to the Kang family,
Rob
